I have a fractal design meshify case. It comes with 2 fans preinstalled. I want to add a 3rd one to the front. However, there are only 2 4pin fan connector on the mobo. What should I do? I have no cable splitter or similar.

Check your boxes if you have a molex to fan adapter somewhere. They're usually bundled with odd things like motherboards, cases, things...
It should look something like this:

If you have to order a cable somewhere, a fan cable splitter is probably a better solution than a molex adapter. The only way to control the fan speed if it's connected directly to the power supply is to have a dedicated fan controller in-between.

If you scroll down to the cooler by design section and select "4-pin PWM/DC fan" it'll show you the fan connector locations. Also page 1-15 in the manual. If those are already populated then you'll have to buy a splitter or controller.
